This piece of music takes my breath away every time I hear it

Thank you for the guidance included in the sermon. I have had well over 30 spiritual events, the first being at the age of 12 or 13 when water poured out between my arm and school shirt, and the last was on Holy Saturday just past when I saw projected into my 3rd eye my head being crowned with a crystalline gold and and silver crown. In between these events I saw aIcon of Christ Blessing on the ceiling of the tower over the crossing of Canterbury cathedral. Also when Moses appeared to me on Mt Sinai, it was said to me, "You know you should show yourself", and so I did at a weekday Holy Communion at St Matthews in the City, Auckland, NZ. - I have been told my light filled the entire chapel. Just a few of many events. I passed the organist at St Peters Wellington, NZ. She was speaking to an English man who I took to be an commissary from Canterbury talking about me. I did not stop to introduce myself. All religions end when a 3D civilization ascends to its already existing 5D expression or a 4D civilization to its 6D expression - polarity into unity. We are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience. The number of sectors in all of creation is 250,000 quad trillion - each having 13 universes so the number of universes is 250,000 quad trillion x 13. When extraordinary events are about to happen, do not attach any judgement to them because if you do you are saying the illusion is real so will stay in the illusion. It is my understanding the ascension of the ready humanity will before the end of this calendar year. Ascension marks the beginning of a new book, not the end of a chapter. I had to be gay and HIV+ to be where I needed to be. And to my many enemies, I have already ascended and I have divine protection and you do not.

When I was 18 & 19, in 1985, I was visiting family in Yorkshire (from Australia: I emigrated with my parents when I was 3) a few months after the fire, and my uncle was one of the carpenters in the firm tasked with replicating the destroyed beams and rafters of the roof of the transept. He knew I was doing a cabinetmaking apprenticeship in Australia, so asked his boss, Geoff Brayshaw, if I could come to their yard and help with making the new roof. I spent 3 weeks marking and sawing & fitting HUGE joints in framing timbers of 100+ year old oak, made into the new beams, working sometimes to drawings copied from 18th & 19th century restorers' drawings in crayon on boards, discovered in storerooms in adjoining buildings. Either that, or getting extremely sooty measuring and replicating the burnt and shattered beams that could be rescued (what is an apprentice for, after all?). We used modern beam saws and morticers for some, but others, especially at angles, we had to cut like the original makers would have cut them, with hand (electric drill-powered) augers and huge framing slicks (specialised heavy chisels). My feet and inches maths improved in leaps and bounds! (& yes I did carve my initials where no-one will ever see them, probably, unless they look). Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the installation of the trusses that I had a small part in making (I had to get back to Melbourne, making dining chairs and 'French farmhouse'-style refectory tables: chunky in themselves, but delicate in comparison with the 18" x 6" timbers I had been working with) , but I have photos showing the installation process from Uncle Rob and his workmates. A great learning experience.

That fire left me gutted from thousands of miles away in Texas. Immense gratitude here for all the many firefighters who fought and succeeded in saving the Minster. And also for those who so diligently rebuilt and restored this sacred place.

Would love to know the psalm setting as it was beautiful!

Always first class!

I remember that horror like it was yesterday. Even from Texas, I was just gutted at the thought. Then just five years ago the same kind of gut wrenching over Notre Dame where I had performed when I was 17. These incredible, unfathomable, rare works of marvel and mystery giving testament of the magnificence of God are just treasures too great to be lost. I do wish the UK would restore and rebuild the ancient ruins of so many others which fell into ruins over the centuries. They too need to speak again.

Wonderful. Thank you from across the pond

Wow, never heard Gibbons sung like it's opera before! Solo sounds (and looks) more suited to something written for the stage by Benjamin Britten. Incredible!

I had the great privilege of attending all the choral evensong services from Saturday 15th June to Friday 21st as well as choral eucharist on the Sunday. The Minster choir never cease to thrill me, thank you Robert for your continuing outstanding leadership. I'm not embarrassed to admit that every time I hear psalm 150 sung as the recessional at the end of the Sunday eucharist it brings tears to my eyes! Thank you so much.

Gratitude and thanks to the extraordinary choir and musicianship all around! A beautiful service.

We chose this music for our wedding in 1970. I recently lost my beloved husband and am heartbroken, but hearing Vidor's beautiful piece now and again is a comfort. Thank you.

Well done to all who fought the fire that night.

It's a wonderful job those working to repair the Minster have done, they should all be very pleased and proud of their efforts.

Bravo veramente bravo 👏👏👏

Anglican means Music, duplicated Nowhere

Marvellous performance of 'The Spirit of the Lord' 😍

SMUKT!

Wonderful Anglican Church music. Thank you and greetings from Germany

Thank you for posting this

Played exactly as it should be played.Magnificintly.

Fabulous bravery from these women. So proud of them. I am a Catholic woman who longs for women priests and so happy to see these women being ordained despite all the resistance they have to put up with, even now.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Bravo Amici Coro!

A great piece by Widor! Also like St Saeun organ symphony, 4th movement Powerfull end to the whole works! Fraser❤❤❤

Thank you, York Minster. The choral presentation was beautiful.

Beautiful Service. I love this organist - he really feels every note - congrats on a great performance of the Duruflé voluntary.

I remembered about 10 years. Ago visiting York Minster standing next to one of these massive bass pipes! When it sounded you didn’t hear it but you felt the massive pressure wave! I didn’t stay to long as my inside was vibrating! A great sound overall! That’s why they call it the King of Instruments! Fraser❤

Agree that tempo is about right., many play it far to fast and the audio sound waves crash into each other! Bach’s tocatto and fuch in D minor is just a mash of noise if it’s played too fast! It’s a good test for a hi fi speakers as the frequencies go way down to 16 HZ and harmonics go way up past the human hearing range! I studied audio engineering many years and found it fascinating! If you walk into a church when the organ is playing you walk through the waves and get a pleasant feeling in your ears! It’s the Doppler effect where frequency, amplitude, and phase all sound together ! Try it sometime! The Hammond organ is another example ! Sound straight out of the speakers sound dry! Switch the Leslie speakers and the sound comes alive and spacious! Listen to Procal Harem or bands like Focus they make many interesting sounds from the Doppler effect!🎼 Fraser.😃👂👂

You have had a bad day... generally miserable.. not feeling appreciated....close your eyes, listen to this and let it wash over you..

Well sung, to every chorister, on thus special day.

So grateful to the Minster for holding this again

Thank you so much for 1:11:10...!

Amen

From the central plains of Texas, thank you for this blessing as I’m confined at home the past six months. The live-streaming of services has truly been the greatest redemption to come from the scourge of Covid. I am now able to follow both York Minster and Rochester along with my home church of First Presbyterian in Tyler, Texas. I am very grateful.

Will be streamed? I am very eager to see a Compline from the Minster. I always see those of Keeble and Magdalen's colleges but one from Minster's quire.... no paralell at all!

Played at the perfect speed An excellent performance just perfect.

Particularly noisy congregation at the end of the service!

SMUKT! IF YE LOVE ME BY THOS TALLIS SUNG OUTSIDE THE QUIRE!

What happened to the First evensong of Pentecost - a major Feast in the whole Church? It came over as: Oh yes we have to spend some attention to this as well. Was it not more liturgically appropriate to select a date on a weekday in the coming week or so? For the rest I wish Canon Milne all the best and God's blessing in his new position in the Chapter and for all his role as Precentor.(I listen a lot to your online evensongs - at least 2/3 times a week).

This beautiful piece was played at my graduation ceremony and my late husband and I chose it for our wedding. Sadly he passed away too young aged 54, last November 😢

Beautiful rendition of the Toccata! Love that quiet part (closed swell) around 4:30. Maestro Morris plus the power of York Minster - It's like voices from Heaven! Greetings from Canada!

We walked out as a married couple to this piece on 17 April 1971 , still together. Liz & John Taylor
